- Peter's claim is that he's known all along how the attributions worked,
- and the fact that the arrows showed it was Don and not Adrienne who
- wrote whatever it was should be sufficient; the fact that Adrienne's
- name was immediately before the quoted text shouldn't matter. I've
- tried to explain that some people might not like seeing:
- >>>Donkey Hotie writes:
- >>>>Peter Nyikos writes:
- >>>> I really like blowing donkeys!
- because many people *don't* count the arrows, and assume that the
- quoted text was written by the person whose name immediately precedes it.
